$Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$ reported a solid beat on growth and margins along with positive commentary across the business lines.
Story likely moves sideways (positive business fundamentals offset by concerns about AI impact on search, and regulatory impacts) while numbers move higher (revenue / profits seem low but FCF seems high).
Risk / reward remains decent even w/ regulatory overhang. I am denting the multiple by 10% to account for potential loss of 10% of profits. Other point I wo...

We’re seeing an interesting convergence of trends opening the door for a nuclear revival:
1. AI’s energy-intensive nature
2. Demand for clean baseload power to meet those needs
3. Big tech’s willingness to finance it
Industry veterans, utilities, and the people building nuclear companies know the challenges ahead. Nuclear power will be a hard problem to solve.
The question comes down to economics and engineering, i.e., how can we make nuclear energy affordable enough to j...

It's no secret that $ $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ 's stock price tends to track big tech's capex. A few observations:
▶️The major upward revisions for capex came in 2024, as 2023 was still more about post-COVID normalization and cost-cutting. Some firms ( $AMZN $META) even reduced capex in 2023.
- 2025E consensus for the "Big 4" (MSFT, GOOGL, META, AMZN) combined moved from $167B (Jan 2023) to $182B (Jan 2024) to $230B (Oct 2024).

$Amazon (AMZN.US)$ has the largest upside potential among all mega-caps.
It’s very well positioned:
- 40% market share in US e-commerce
- 31% market share in cloud
- 14% share in digital ads
Plus it’s launching satellite internet service.
It’s a no brainer at this level.

Third-party contact is service integrator for $Salesforce (CRM.US)$ , $ServiceNow (NOW.US)$ , $Freshworks (FRSH.US)$ , etc. focused on call center space.
Was constructive on $CRM AgentForce product and sees a lot of pilots beginning – but also notes $Salesforce (CRM.US)$ spending fatigue is very real so they really have to execute here. Positive on $ServiceNow (NOW.US)$ AI and thinks $Freshworks (FRSH.US)$ / $ZEN are dogs.
